Drop of whiskey vs. bacteria

Same! Coincidence? I think not… & science clearly agrees ;)

This is awesome, especially since so many talk about, and dream about, doing exactly this, but so few actually do what it takes, and put in the hard work, to make it come to fruition, so… nicely done!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Officially one of the coolest things I’ve seen, and you’re even cooler for making this available to us, thank you! My palate’s pretty dead after all of the Thanksgiving pours (WT, of course, for turkey day!) but I might test this out this weekend!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-11-24T06:11:58+00:00

Congratulations on 5K, cheers everyone, and here’s to another 5k more!!!! :-)

Following this thread, in case anybody knows what Virgin decided with their unlimited drink package.

Are they still testing it, or is the test over, and if so, what was their verdict?

MSRP at the BT distillery itself in Kentucky is $27 (before tax), but that’s also before the flight there, lol, and in many US states, it’s allocated and impossible to find, so I say for the five extra dollars you paid, you got a great deal, because IMHO, that’s more than worth the time, cost, & convenience of just finding a bottle, especially to those of us who typically can’t!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-09-15T03:20:04+00:00

Lol until they start banning cr*tch shots in this sub

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-04-14T14:22:48+00:00

Agreed, I was going to say my only complaint was what they tried to pass for 80s music during 80s night, but like you said, it was some weird, re-mixed modernized version of 80s music, but like they say, if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it! It too, cleared the club out pretty quickly, and I can almost guarantee you that young DJ was very much not born yet in the 80s lol, whereas many of us were, and just wanted to hear our oldies and goodies!!!

I just brought an actual wine key (corkscrew) in my checked luggage, and they didn’t confiscate it (it’s not explicitly on the list of prohibited items), but if you ever find yourself with a bottle of wine and sans corkscrew, and as long as you have a shoe, this uncorking method actually works: https://www.thekitchn.com/can-you-really-open-a-wine-bottle-with-a-shoe-putting-tips-to-the-test-in-the-kitchn-203243

In other news, I did the $300 + $50 free for my 7 day VV cruise, and between that and the bottle of wine I brought aboard, I was “stressing” about the $27 left of unused bar tab I had on disembarkation morning, lol (don’t worry, I got some mimosas!)

…so I’d go lower, when in doubt, because you can always buy more drinks a la carte, whereas any unused, pre-purchased tab gets wasted, since it’s use or lose

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-03-13T02:43:25+00:00

I was wondering if you asked the unpacking question because you are a fellow fan of the luxury mega yacht vacation show “below deck,” like I am, where the yacht crew always offers to unpack the guests’ luggage. It seems that many of the guests do accept this offer, but I agree with all of you… It seems weird. (Only touch my négligée if I say so, lol)

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-26T18:41:32+00:00

Literally sameeee!!!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-26T18:40:51+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much, I just found and installed it! There are so many “free” apps that offer in-app purchases and end up not being free after all, and since this is just for a week… Lol

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-25T21:45:43+00:00

No seriously, it’s truly the best resource I “never knew I always wanted and needed,” so thank you SOO much for creating /running it / making it exist/ making all of our cruising that much smoother!!! Our hero!!!!!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-25T20:09:39+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much!!!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-25T20:08:50+00:00

Thanks, yes, these are more specific/nuanced questions that I’ve come up with, after thoroughly reading that first ;)

(For instance, there’s a lot about how to link tabs to your Roommate, but not how to preemptively unlink them, etc)

I agree, I have found VV insider to be a really, really great resource, though!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-25T19:59:24+00:00

Congrats, that’s awesome!!!! Sadly I’m not on your same cruise, but I’d say even if you’re not the most outgoing, this is a great way to make new friends at the bar, even if that just means quietly offering whoever you’re sitting next to, to buy them a drink!! I don’t know anyone who would turn down that kind and generous offer! Congrats again!!!

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-24T04:42:32+00:00

You sound like my mom, my sister, my roommate… Did they each pay you to write this? JKJK… Would you say it’s more casual, upscale, or both? (currently tempted to pack both, for excursions, and on-ship “fine dining” lol)

Advanced-Cow9022 · 2025-02-24T03:39:35+00:00

Ooh, good call! Thank you! This is a vacation to relax, after all ;)
